15. Write SEO Optimized Content

Many people look for keyword optimized articles in their niche to generate more traffic to their
websites.
If you have knowledge of SEO {Search Engine Optimization} and can write keyword optimized articles
in any nice, then you can make good money out of it.
In order for you to make money writing SEO articles, here are some steps you can take:
● Get yourself registered in freelancing sites like Freelancer.com, Fiverr.com, Upwork.com, etc.
● Make a profile with samples of your previous work. It is important that you provide as many
samples as possible. Ensure these samples are original and have not been published on any
platform. This will give those reviewing your application an easy time deciding on whether or not
you meet their standards.
● Apply for SEO writing jobs on content freelancing sites. Here, you want to start with short, simple
articles and progress towards longer and more complex ones. Again, you must make sure you meet
all the requirements of the customer.
This is where you start building your profile. Get as many positive reviews as possible as this is what
will determine whether you move up the ladder or remain stagnant.
The best way to do this is to write articles you are comfortable with. Specializing in a particular niche
or category will ensure you write quality.
● Write articles based on keyword requirements, submit them back on time, and get paid. All your
articles must meet or even exceed all customer requirements. If any aspects of the instructions are
not clear, it is advisable that you seek clarification from either the customer or customer. All the
keywords must be used in your article as requested by the customer. You should avoid keyword
stuffing at all times.
Keyword stuffing is where you use excessive keywords over and over again. Use it exactly the
number of times specified by the customer. In cases where the customer does not specify the
number of times you can use the keyword, 1 to 3 percent keyword density would be acceptable.
Most importantly, you must ensure you write your articles within the time frame provided. Most
sites will not accept any late submissions.
● Register with websites that deal with SEO content creation for clients such as iWriter.
Their rate is around $1.25 for a 150-word article, and their minimum payout is $20.
One downside is that clients on iWriter do not have to approve your article — if they reject it, you
won't get paid.
Typically you'll get around 80-90% of your articles approved while the other 10-20% will require
some editing.
Delivering high quality content will help you earn more money on this site. After you've received 4-
star reviews for 30 articles, you'll become a premium writer {doubling your pay}, and when you hit
30 articles with 4.5 star reviews, you'll get triple the pay and be an elite writer.
How much money can I make writing SEO optimized content?
You can either charge a flat fee or hourly. If hourly, then you can expect anywhere from $4 to $25 an
hour. If by the article, you can charge from $.01 word {low end} or higher
